Perhaps it is worth noting that only 1% of their sample watched it on C-SPAN, so it maybe it was subject to larger swings with such a potentially tiny sample size.
where is Paul Begalla to give the side from the left?
Who agreed with Romney?
Was about his ideas about women and their role in society and the work place?
Was it when Romney talked about self-deportation?
You tell me.
I'll wait.
And read the transcript.
She did state that it took 14 days for him to call it terrorism after she called him out on what he was saying BO didn't say.. He wanted to go off on him with a technicality. That was his play. Even if he was right, which I don't even know that means in the case of Libya at this point, he tried to turn it into a "gotcha" or "flip flop" when he wasn't prepped for it.
No, it most certainly will not. He'll try to keep pushing it, BO will either eat it like he did today or fire back about the fact it was a secret CIA location therefor there wasn't a lot of info he could give publicly or how the GOP voted to cut funding, and they'll move on.
It's gonna be a repeat of Biden and Ryan.
I've said for years CNN over the years has been a mix of centrist, left slanted centrist or right slanted centrist. Only Americans can't see that difference because imo the US is a right veering country compared to the vast majority of the developed world. Even your left is actually centrist.
Recently CNN has been veering more centrist right, and a quick Google shows discussion on this. On the economy, on politics, on the Occupy movement, on foreign policy etc etc.
Also found it pathetic that Romney's comeback for Libya attack is that Obama didn't call it an act of terrorism day one?!?!? Is that really your main concern? And then I head to the gym and listen to Fox News radio to hear what coworkers will be talking about and they're talking about the main takeaway from the debate was the Libya issue.
Radio Guy: "Here's the quote '"No acts of terror will ever shake the resolve of this great nation, alter that character or eclipse the light of the values that we stand for...'. No where does he address the incident as an act of terror although he used the phrase.
I didn't realize he wasn't addressing the incident while... addressing the incident. But who gives a shit what it was addressed as and on what day? Can't believe that's the only take away from the situation. Not what were the specific requests, when they came in, how far did they make it, what was the reasoning for them being ignored, etc. NO, what is of concern is when did he officially call it an act of terrorism.

That was my favorite part. It summed up 95 percent of the reason I am not for Romney. And that video doesn't focus much on Romney, but on the ABC broadcast they did a side by side for the whole thing and Romney seemed super flustered during it.

It really was sad. I mean, CNN was the most neutral news channel for the longest. I've watched them for everything political since the Gore/Bush 2000 days. But there's no way they are being honest about these results. When nearly every other big name news station says the opposite of what you're saying.....you become biased.
The Republicans are paying them or influencing their funding or something. Something just dont seem right at CNN right now.....
The internet is the best thing ever invented ever.
Funny meme is funny
Ahaha. Well, PPP didn't write THAT bit, but I also didn't mean that C-SPAN was far right in their journalism -- that doesn't even make sense. What I meant was that C-SPAN viewers in this poll thought Romney won the debate at a much higher rate than the rest of the channels -- higher even than Fox News! I interpret that as C-SPAN viewers (tonight, in Colorado, at least) being somewhat further to the right politically. You might interpret it differently! edit: For example, it was probably a pretty tiny sample size and not necessarily a significant result by any means, as Zero-Crescent notes. But it's fun to read tea leaves.
On the topic of binders, here's an article from David Bernstein:

Obama stuck his chin out for Romney to destroy him on Lybia and Romney tripped all over his feet and looked like an idiot. They will cling to Lybia because that's all their is to cling to on Republican foreign policy besides the whole "apology tour" nonsense.

I was hoping to see this with the Bain mask, but I guess everyone was trying to go with the batman theme. It does make more sense to compare Romney to Bain with him being the former CEO of Bain capital...

this CNN focus group is amazing
So, he lied about the binder, which was actually a shitty statement to begin with.
So, now he's lying about things that didn't happen that make him look worse.
What the fuck type of politician is this guy! How do you make up bad shit?
Well I'll ask you then since you seem to be in the minority about who won here tonight.

I want an edit of that acts of terror moment, and when Romney raises his eyebrows in that asshole manner, someone edit Obama's response to "YOU GOIN TO JAIL NOW, YOU GOING TO JAIL NOW, YOU GOING TO JAIL ..." ohhhhhh.

So along with being turned into an embarrassing meme, it turns out that he didn't even have a major role in coming up with the legendary binders?
He wants to cut taxes 20% across the board, increase the military budget by 2 trillion (by not letting certain planned cuts come in to play) and remove certain taxes on the corporate front and capital gains, as well as bringing in new benefits to off shore elements.
And how has he specified he'd pay for all this? Loopholes (which could not cover the losses, some of which he's actually adding to instead of cutting) of which he's only named two... Big bird and one other.
It's a farce. This guy should not even be a contender being considered for the worlds most important position of power. Wake up people.

He'll offset it by seeking to drastically cut popular government programs, as loopholes will not nearly be enough.
The middle class will have to "share" in this pain, as reducing the deficit is a moral obligation to our next generations.
These programs are so popular though, that he didn't want to play politics by having the electorate come to any conclusions about the efficacy of cuts to these programs before he was in a position to enact these policies.
Or am I being paranoid?
HA!
Why does Romney get a free pass on his plan? To me it sounds rather irresponsible but I'd be willing to give it a shot if I had some actual plan to look at.

Ask his supporters.
I'm, sure they're more than ready to answer your queries.
Anybody? ConservaGaf?
*crickets*
I think a more likely outcome is that he wont pay for it and simply watch the deficit explode

CNN wants to keep it a horse race,
if Obama starts to smoke Romney, it will ruin election night for CNN wanting you to tune in to see the "close" race oooh it's so tight!!!
even though Obama holds the swing states firewall

True. But he could always use the deficit scare to privatize social services.
But you're right. Saddling an enterprise with overwhelming debt is more his M.O.
